The 400 kV Thames Crossing is an overhead power line crossing of the River Thames, between Botany Marshes in Swanscombe, Kent, and West Thurrock, Essex, England. Its towers are the tallest electricity pylons in the UK.
The present crossing was built in 1965, and comprises two 190-metre tall lattice towers each side of the Thames. Some suggest that the choice of this height was deliberate, being just taller than the BT Tower in London. The span is 1372 metres , the minimum height of the conductors over the river is 76 metres . Each tower has three crossarms and carries two circuits of 400 kV three-phase AC.
